Not So Stranger

by prettilitTLepoison

The mystery of this obsession never fails to mystify, if one look could explain, it would be in those eyes, but I try to suffer these longs days and keep on this mask, to harden my fancies, to make sure there is no lapse. But you still linger at my door.

Beautiful Stranger

We've been through this before

Oh, dark, twisted Stranger

I won't let you through this door

In a sea of faces

Only our eyes did meet

Like a shadow you stalked

You were never so discreet

I snatched out a cigarette

I let it all in

I knew you were coming

I knew this, but not when

Suddenly my eyes fell upon a dark silhouette,

Grinning and tapping at my door

You flooded my sanity

And let my true nature restore

A blur of scattered memories

A blur of scattered thoughts

A blur of hate, of obsession, of longing

Opened up those locks

I let it in, all that smoke

The life that is my gray

I let that stubborn, insane presence

Muddle up my day

And here we stand

Hands in sync

Whispers as we now lay

I let you in, oh terrible stranger

I let you in to stay

Clawing, sinking, breathing

Cold lingering

At the edge of your skin

Oh, Beautiful, not so Stranger

I will not let you win

-Fin
